I bridle at the sentimentality of most popular love songs, not to mention sappy 19th-century lieder, but I adore 14th- century courtly love songs. "Sweet, beautiful lady, For God's sake don't think that anyone has dominion over my heart save you alone..." etc. (Machaut's "Douce Dame Jolie") Think of "fa la la" as the Renaissance version of "yeah, yeah, yeah"...
